Haunted by an ancient curse, Kharis teeters on the brink of madness. To break her curse and rescue her sister, she must navigate the treacherous realms of the ancient immortals to reach the Akumi king, outwit the cunning Aghet Mendi, and confront the truth that Itzu—her fiercest protector—has long concealed from her. If she fails, it will not only be her end but also the end of the world. And when she finally stands before the Akumi king, will he offer her freedom—or ruin? Prophecy, fate, sisterhood, found family, magic, and tragic lovers converge in a tale of intrigue, sacrifice, and the quiet strength that shapes Kharis's dark destiny. Perfect for fans of Robin Hood, Tasha Suri, and Katherine Arden, this tale blooms beautifully, steeped in lore, longing, and the impossible choice that defines our flawed heroine. Darkly lyrical and emotionally fierce, The Dandelion Tree, Part Two, is a character-rich literary epic high fantasy for readers who crave mythic resonance, emotional depth, and quiet power over spectacle. A thoughtful, immersive epic high fantasy with lush, lyrical prose, multiple POVs, depth over spectacle, deep characterization, an intelligent plot, high stakes, and the mythic scope of Kharis’s quest. For fans of: The Books of Ambha by Tasha Suri The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang (in tone more than theme) The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden Tigana and Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison Readers of The Bear and the Nightingale, She Who Became the Sun, and The Jasmine Throne will also find resonance in this work.
